    摘要: A method includes receiving first data associated with a first power amplifier and second data associated with a second power amplifier. The method also includes generating a first amplitude limiting signal having gain parameters that are based on the first data and the second data. The first data includes at least one of a temperature measurement associated with the first power amplifier, a supply voltage measurement associated with the first power amplifier, a load resistance associated with the first power amplifier, or a gain associated with the first power amplifier. The method further includes modifying an audio signal based at least in part on the first amplitude limiting signal to generate a first gain-adjusted audio signal. The method also includes providing a first output audio signal to the first power amplifier for amplification. The first output audio signal is based at least in part on the first gain-adjusted audio signal.

    摘要: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et circuit (100) de pilotage et d'alimentation de transducteurs ultrasonores à capacité commutée synchrone, contrôlé par boucle numérique. Ce circuit (100) comprend une interface de puissance (106) commandée par un générateur de signal carré ou rectangulaire multi-niveaux (102). Ce dispositif comprend un circuit d'accordage (104) qui est commandé par un circuit de commande d'accordage (109) pour présenter, avec le transducteur, une fréquence propre déterminée. Typiquement, cette adaptation comprend en entrée une inductance (L1) en série, et en sortie une capacité (C1) à connexion commandée (K1) montée en parallèle avec le transducteur (302). Cette connexion (K1) est commandée selon une différence de phase détectée (Δφ12) constatée entre l'entrée (φ1) et la sortie (φ2) de ladite inductance (L1). Elle est avantageusement asservie pour fournir une différence de phase valant π/2. L'invention se rapporte en outre à un élément ultrasonique, une tête ultrasonique, et un système ultrasonique d'imagerie et/ou de traitement, notamment médical.

    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for a harmonic rejection filter with transimpedance amplifiers. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a harmonic rejection filter with at least three input nodes, at least one output node, a first transimpedance amplifier, a first set of transimpedance amplifiers, and a scaling current converter. The at least three input nodes include a first input node, a second input node, and a third input node. The at least one output node includes a first output node. The first transimpedance amplifier is coupled between the first input node and the first output node. The first set of transimpedance amplifiers include a second transimpedance amplifier coupled to the second input node and a third transimpedance amplifier coupled to the third input node. The scaling current converter is coupled between outputs associated with the first set of transimpedance amplifiers and an input of the first transimpedance amplifier.

    摘要: A modulating amplifying arrangement for amplifying an input signal that accounts for noise introduced by the modulating operation. An input signal is modulated, to obtain a modulated signal, and subsequently amplified to obtain an amplified modulated signal. This amplified modulated signal is then sampled by an analogue-to-digital converter to thereby obtain amplified samples of the input signal. The modulated signal is biased by a biasing arrangement to account for a voltage offset introduced into the amplified samples by the modulating of the input signal.

    摘要: The amplifier load current cancellation in a current integrator comprises applying an input current (Ι in ) to an operational transconductance amplifier provided with an integration capacitor (C int ) for current integration, leading an output current (I out ) of the operational transconductance amplifier through a sensing resistor (R sense ) t thus producing a voltage drop over the sensing resistor, generating a cancellation current (I out,cancel ) dependent on the voltage drop over the sensing resistor, and injecting the cancellation current to the output current, before or after the output current passes the sensing resistor, thus eliminating a dependence of the output current on the input current.
